Thank you so much for allowing your distant readers like me to have a glimpse of the list of East Honiara & Lau/Baelelea MP contenders. I wonder whether they each affiliate to certain political parties, and participate now because of a genuine public agenda. We can guess whose is who for some but I'm afraid most will be vying for the "cross-over party"( The Independent Group). This is not a commentary but a humble request if you can find out and publish it in your next issue. Thanks a lot
